Exclusive: Michael Jackson Worked Himself To Death Says Tour Band Member
26 June 2009, 9:49 AM. By Jack Tomas
A source inside Michael Jackson’s upcoming tour has told Guanabee exclusively that Jackson was working on his comeback like a man possessed. Just last week he was working 12-hour days with the musicians, dancers, and tech people to make it as perfect as possible. “He would be dancing for 8 straight hours or more. He looked great, like he did when he was 20,” the source, who is a musician employed by the tour who asked not to be named for confidentiality reasons, revealed.
Jackson even passed the four hour physical for the insurance bond company that is required before a tour. A heart attack can come seemingly out of nowhere, and even a stress test would not necessarily reveal a problem until it is too late. Stress is also the number one factor leading to heart attacks and coronary heart disease. Jackson was certainly under a lot of stress.
It is also well known that he was gearing up for this massive world tour that was set to be his triumphant comeback after years of exile from the music scene following court cases, $400 million worth of debt, and baby-out-the-window controversies.
“He was stressed out, you could tell. He wanted to make it back on top. I think he worked himself to death. He was putting so much work into this comeback…I think his heart couldn’t take it”, the source said.
It’s sad to reflect that the world did not get to see this new tour or what else Michael Jackson had planned. In the end, after all of his controversies, he was first and foremost one of the world’s great entertainers.

At the age of 4, my mother bought me pink leather pants to match my pink “off the wall” shirt. I was so excited that I wore my outfit everywhere….even to soccer practice. Understandably, I was ridiculed and benched, thereby ending my sports career but beginning my life-long obsession with the moon walk, pop music and all things MJ.
Pink leather pants are totally worth a benching.
Michael Jackson was a great dancer. And a child molesting freak. Now he’s dead. I wish there was some way I could fast forward thru next couple weeks because it’d going to be as nauseating as the aftermath of Princess D’s demise.
ur a scumbag
I’m not buying the “stress” mess scenario…this seems a bit more appropriate:
TMZ reports:
Law enforcement sources tell us a BMW belonging to the doctor was towed from Jackson’s home last night. Cops are looking to interview the doc.
A law enforcement source says the doctor gave Jackson an injection before he died.
Jackson reportedly may have OD’d on Demerol. As we first reported, family members were concerned that Jackson was taking too much morphine.
I did hear somewhere that it was his personal doctor that was giving CPR when paramedics arrived… will be interesting to see how this unfolds… *sigh* until then, I’ll keep listening to the countless hours of MJ tributes
I hope they don’t drag this out too long… though I am curious if the shot he got was really the cause of death.
It could also be a vaso dialator or adrnaline, both standard for someone having a heart attack. We’ll see when the autopsy comes back.
